Hi, Everyone. Greetings from Buenos Aires, the land of tango!

Hi to all!!

I'm Xabi from Buenos Aires, Argentina. My dad was from Bilbao in the Basque Country and passed on me his taste for cycling present in most basques considering their great cycling tradition. We used to live in NY during my childhood, where my dad used to ride a beautiful Bianchi that was ultimately given away ("Why!!!"... I know guys).

I rode bikes my entire life but was always more focused on other sports that I practiced competitively. It was not until recent years that my cycling DNA popped out. I currently ride a GT Transeo 4.0 hybrid on daily basis and it does its job. Before I had several Argentines all-terrain mountain bikes. I have recently purchased a vintage Bianchi racing bike to make it shine again, but not yet sure about the model and/or year. I'll be definitely posting some pictures of it in search for help guys.

Cheers!

Xabs
